Abstract
The growths of ecological concerns and regulations, most of the researchers and industries have been focused on natural fiber based reinforcing green composite materials. Enset fiber was abundantly available, light weight, moderate moisture content and biodegradable un-utilized fiber under Ensete Ventricosum family. This research work focused on the mechanical properties of enset woven fabric reinforced composite structures. Natural gums (acacia and boswellia) were used as bio resin obtained from plants. Biodegradable composite structures were manufactured by hand layup assisted resin mechanism. SHIMADZU Strength tester was used for analyzed of tensile strength. The influences of grammage of enset fabrics and bio resin on tensile strengths were studied. The test result indicated that, bio resins had a significant effect on tensile strength of composite structure which was reinforced with enset fabrics having the same number of warp yarns. Increasing the grammage (quantity) of bio resin was restored energy and improves the performance of tensile strength by reduced deformation of composite structure.
